[2022 Update] The $300 supplementary payment made in 2020 and 2021, ended in all states on September 6th, 2021 (some states ended it earlier).
Unless claims are in the adjudication process, At this stage all retroactive payments (including those for PUA and PEUC) have also been processed and no new payments are being made.
An extension of unemployment benefits, including the $300 payment, is not likely for 2022 and beyond unless economic conditions deteriorate significantly. I will post updates as they come to light.

____________
The latest (ARPA) stimulus package was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President Biden on March 11th, 2021. It includes further extensions to pandemic unemployment programs (PUA and PEUC) and an extra $300 weekly FPUC supplementary UI payment. The latest supplementary $300 payment will be paid over 25 weeks starting from week of March 15th, 2021 to September 6th, 2021. This is in addition to the previous extension covering 11 weeks from December 27th, 2020 to March 14th, 2021. Eligible payments will be made retroactively in cases where state unemployment agencies face delays with rolling out system updates to process these payments.
The $300 weekly unemployment payment will be made above and beyond any regular state or enhanced federal unemployment payment and require eligible claimants to certify regularly according to their state UI agency guidelines. Claimants will need to be eligible for at least $1 of an underlying unemployment benefit to receive the $300 supplemental payment under the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program.
You do not need to take any additional action to receive this supplemental payment. States are slowly rolling out these payments for different groups of claimants starting with those already getting regular UI and state extended benefits (active claimants). Those who have exhausted benefits prior to the extensions being rolled out or new claimants will only be able to get payments once their underlying claim is approved.
I will update dates in the table below as states implement these guidelines and start making making actual payments. Please leave a comment if you find updated or incorrect information reflected in the table and I will review/update accordingly. Details on why this payment could be delayed due to PEUC or PUA roll-outs are discussed in this video.
State unemployment departments and agencies will be responsible for disbursing these benefit payments, similar to the $300 LWA and earlier $600 FPUC supplementary unemployment programs. Given the many challenges and various payment issues across states with earlier supplementary UI benefit programs, I expect this to take some time to be rolled out and require retroactive payments to get claimants caught up. So stay tuned and subscribe to get the latest updates. You can also see this $300 FPUC video for more details on this program.
Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) program – Now Expired
The temporary $300 unemployment benefit under the Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) program funding has now been paid in all states who participated in the program. The program expiry date was December 27th, 2020 and this means that any new or retroactive payments under this program will NO longer be paid out going forward. This has been replaced by the new $300 FPUC payment discussed above.
This supplementary payment was a temporary, but much needed benefit for unemployed or underemployed workers who lost the supplementary $600 FPUC weekly payment at the end of July. There was a lot of confusion on when the $300 would actually be paid by state UI agencies which led to the creation of the LWA state tracker table below, which shows the payment status and actual or estimated future date claimants can expect their first weekly unemployment payment, if eligible. You can also see the 1000+ comments from readers that share their experiences around the LWA payment, including some very useful tips if you are facing issues getting your $300 LWA payment.
All states that applied and were approved by FEMA were only initially awarded three weeks of funding – covering the weeks of August 1st, 8th and August 15th. After that, states and territories will need to submit a Lost Wages Additional Week Request one week at a time for funding to pay claims for subsequent weeks. However any additional funding is subject to the $44 billion budget that is available for this program and it is almost certain that funding will run out before the December 27th expiry of this program, unless Congress approves additional funding via a formal UI benefits extension.
In fact, at this stage approved states will only get a maximum of 6 weeks of funding (weeks covering August 1st to September 5th) for the LWA program per recent FEMA guidance to state labor and unemployment agencies that have already made several weeks of payments. Several states which started making the $300 payments earlier than other states have already been notified that their LWA funding allotment has run out and no additional funding beyond will be approved. Note however that some states like Florida will only be applying for and paying 4 weeks of LWA benefits, since they didn’t meet some of the LWA program qualification rules (details here).

Payment Start date is when the state actually started processing LWA payments OR is the estimated date of the first payment processing based on available information. Note: Due to bank processing delays, it can take 2 to 4 days after the noted dates for benefits to hit your bank account or debit card. Please see links to more information in the table or your state UI website for specific payment status. If you find any mistakes or have updates, please leave a comment below and I will update table to help others.
What if my state has started making payments, but I don’t see my $300?
Claimants in most states do not need to take any action to receive the new benefits available in this program. The additional benefits will be added automatically for all claimants who are eligible and have certified for the relevant week. Their self-certification will ask them to confirm they were unemployed or partially unemployed due to COVID-19. See more FAQs on this here.
However if your state has started making payments and you haven’t received payments you need to first confirm you are eligible. This means you must be receiving at least $100 in weekly unemployment benefit payments (pre tax and before any other deductions). This includes claimants receiving any type of regular unemployment insurance benefits as well as those receiving PUA and PEUC benefits.
If you are eligible and you have not received a payment in several weeks then you will need to contact your state UI agency to ensure the claim has been processed and is not being held up due to fraud, missing/incorrect payment details or due to a weekly or bi-weekly certification issue.
See more in this article on Why Your $300 Unemployment Has Not Been Paid or Delayed.
My state has been approved and the LWA tracker says payments are being made, but when will I get my payment?
The tracker provides an actual or estimated date for the when the LWA payments start being processed by the state. If a start date has been officially published by the state, you will see the status updated to “paying now.” Otherwise it is estimate based on FEMA guidelines or if confirmed by several sources online. However this date (week start date in many cases) may not be the same as the date the actual UI payment will hit your back account or debit card. The actual date you may see the money could be several days after the official state processing start date and tied to your normal UI payment cycle. You will need to confirm via your UI online portal or state agency for the exact payment date.
Also note the payment date is generally the date when payment starts. In many states, due to volume of people being paid, claims are paid out over several days (in batches, based on SSN or First/Last Name). And given processing by banks to disburse these payments via direct deposit or debit cards can take 1 to 2 days, it may take several days after the first payment date for you to receive your payment.
I got my $900 back payment but no payments after that. Why?
The first state LWA grant approved by FEMA was only for three weeks. Hence the $900 payment (3 x $300) is what most people are seeing first, less any taxes or withholding. Subsequent $300 payments are approved and paid on a week by week basis. This includes retroactive payments which will also be staggered. Rest assured if you are eligible for past weeks you will get your payment.
Also the maximum number of weeks that can be paid under the LWA program is 6, which means the maximum payment in most states is $1800 (or $2400 if the state was paying $400 p/week). After the payment of 6 weeks, you will revert to what you were getting under existing unemployment programs.
I am got my first week of payments but not subsequent weeks.
Kristin asked, “My son just got his first payment for the weeks of 08/23 thru 08/29 and 08/30 thru 09/05. He got the extra $300 for the week of 08/23 – 08/29, but did not get the extra $300 for the week of 08/30 thru 09/05. We are in Texas. Do you know why he got it the first week, but not the second week?
Every week is processed separately by the state UI agency subject to FEMA funding. So you may be seeing some variability due to delays in approval, claim processing and eventual bank/debit card payment.
Why does this table estimate SC for 9/20 when the official lwa tracker is still unknown? Where can I get the skew info that the columnist is getting?
Same here, but I certified this past Monday. I only received my 362.
Hi im in NYC and havent recieved a payment but it says payment release date 9/17/20 whats going on?
NY DOL confirmed they have released ~$1.9 billion in LWA funds to 2.26 million NYers. But looks like an issue with their processor – KeyBank. Despite assurances their system could handle the load, KeyBank was unable to process payments overnight on 9/15. KeyBank now says payments have been processed & will reach bank accounts by 4:30PM on Sep 18th at the latest
Hi! I am in Rochester, NY. When I checked my Citizen Bank account this morning nothing was deposited. When I checked again this afternoon, the 3 deposits were there. So, thankfully it finally came. Keep checking.
Good morning everyone,
Paris from California here AGAIN!!
Am I the only one that have not received their LWA funds? EDD has confirmed that they received my self certification form. This morning I received and email from them stating that I am potentially eligible to receive the LWA funds and to learn about eligibility visit the LWA site. I have done everything that I was supposed to do. Now I am so confused as to what’s going on right now.
Stressing out in California.
Everyone stay safe!!!!
This is from Illinois. Received $765 one lump sum payment. Curious to know if this is after taxes for the $900 bonus that was expected.
Yes, taxes are deducted. Also any other Mandated deductions will be applied.
Does anybody have an update for KY? I have recently gone to every two weeks from every week. I received 2 weeks of regular unemployment this week but nothing extra.
Hi Tracey. I’ve read a couple of conflicting dates; including this site which is posted to have started processing on the 15th. But I read an article by a local news source saying that the first week was sent out on the 11th. The second week would be processed on the 17th and the third week processed on the 18th. This is extremely confusing. Not sure if these dates are only processing dates or if some have actually been paid out already. Can’t seem to get a straight answer from anyone. I receive regular UI benefits and have read that those receiving PUA are receiving theirs first. There’s bound to be someone with a straight answer???
I know! I can’t find a definitive or reliable answer anywhere. I don’t do my claim until next week. I have tried the online chat, calling and e-mailing with no response. I know they are overwhelmed, but you would think one could get an answer.
I have not received the first payment for the LWA
Andy,
I’m curious of where you got that NJ estimated date is Sept 20th? State DOL just said that expect to have program NEXT MONTH and will contact people on how to claim LWA. Considering NJ has just left people to starve and hardly anyone at unemployment even answers phones..not sure how they plan on contacting ANYONE that collects UI. So just wondering where u got the estimated date?
It was based on their approval date by FEMA + 4 weeks to get this in place (which is far more than most states). But looks like they are going to be delayed further based on what I am hearing and per a recent tweet, “NJDOL expects to have programming in place next month to distribute $300/wk from the FEMA LWA program. New Jersey has been approved for 5 weeks of benefits. Eligible claimants unemployed due to Covid-19 will be contacted once a process is in place on how to claim the funds.”
Thanks for letting me know and I have updated table. This is frustration for NJ residents given most other states have already started paying.
I just want to state that NJ is the WORST. I see people commenting on “ONLY” receiving 300 or 900 of the LWA. And NJ isnt even set up yet to make ANY payment. Murphy has really let us all down. I was wondering how he sleeps at night..then it hit me. He doesnt worry about not having food or being evicted..he doesnt worry about not having a job to return to. Hes set. So of course he sleeps soundly!
I see u put early october for NJ. So it that just a guess? Since NJ says October, they could mean Oct 30th right? Frustrating isnt even the right word to describe NJ. Jobs are gone.. No longer exist. And the meager 300 that every state seems to get 6 full weeks..we only get 5? How is that even possible when FEMA said 6 weeks? NJ is worst place to live. for some reason they couldnt afford to update the unemployment system AT ALL IN THE PAST 15 YEARS????
Thats the update from the NJ DOL official twitter feed…early October. But could be anytime in October, but I would be shocked if they take till Oct 30th since most they were able to get the $600 FPUC out faster.
I got the 900.00 on September 15th. BUT I DIDN’T GET MY REGULAR 264.00 WEEKLY BENEFIT. IS IT TRUE THAT THERE IS ANOTHER ROUND OF 900.00 WHICH MAKES A TOTAL OF 18.00 .
Yes. 6 weeks of total funding was approved in most states. So $900 more coming but may take some time to process as that was approved (by FEMA) subsequent to the first batch
I am about to get my last regular UI payment and have never received a thing from ODJFS about PEUC!! Idk how any of this is supposed to work but I have read that they are supposed to send info about how to apply. I find that a little funny because they can’t even keep up with claims in general. So now I guess I am without any more payments at least in the near future because I’ll have to sit on hold when I call for idk how many hours. Oh joy. If anyone knows or has any info, it would be much appreciated. Thank you
DB ..I was down to my regular running out..they sent me my regular check for one week and the next week one for the remaining $43 woulda been easier to tack that onto one check instead of leaving my to survive on $43 for a week. Once they send your last payment they send you an email to sign up for PEUC..mine went right through without a problem
Hello stacey. Did me the same butt has now bin 3 weeks since ive received last payment 115$ and that exhausted benefits. Got letter reapplied , says they added more benefits from puec system and i now have an available balance of 2500. But still havent gotten next 2 weeks payments ,,, just wondering how long after till other extra benefits kick in, worried here. And no answers to unemployment offices really frustrating. Plss help????
Thank you for the info Stacey
Anyone from New York receive their LWA ($300/week) payments yet? Says it was supposed to be paid out on the 14th, but haven’t gotten anything yet and I know I’m eligible because of what I get in unemployment and I received a text message and email saying that I was PRE-QUALIFIED. Any feedback would be great!
PUA claimants are getting paid first, before those on traditional UI. See Ny page for more details – https://savingtoinvest.com/new-york-dept-of-labor-unemployment-insurance-compensation-600-fpuc-and-pua/
I think it’s all bullshit how is it that each state has enough to pay exactly however many people are unemployed when that number varies state to state and as soon as 6 payments are made the funds are depleted In every state does this mean certain states were granted a lot more money depending upon the population of each state because I doubt it so for me this all sounds like a bunch of smoke being blown up our ass they aren’t out of funds it’s just all they are willing to pay
Has anyone in deleware received their lwa money yet
Andy anything from Delaware yet….has anyone heard or received anything
I live in starkey florida and currently receive PEUC benefits at 275.00 a week which I received my PEUC payment on Sept 14th but I have not received the LWA 300.00 weekly payments as of today and Florida started paying out on September 8th. I have called the unemployment numbers 833-352-7759 , 800-297-0586, 800-204-2418 but no luck reaching a customer service person, only left on hold for an hour each call which doesn’t answer my question.. others in my state have already received LWA payments. I am at my breaking point.. can anyone give me any real information in regards to why I haven’t received my LWA 300 .00 weekly payments in florida..
I am from Chicago. Receiving $198 PUA weekly. No dependents. Haven’t received the $300 bonus yet. Any idea if n when I may receive this extra help.
Illinois is running a week behind. My wife got hers a week after her regular, and even then it was only for the first 3 weeks. Not sure when the rest will be sent out.
On Thursday, 17 September 2020, I received notification that a payment of $1,800 is scheduled to be paid on Friday, 18 September 2020…..
What state are you in.
Good morning everyone,
I live in Southern California and my question is can someone/anyone tell me how long does it take after you update you self certification form to receive your first $300? I understand that fact that every state is different but I was hoping that may be someone from hear could shade a little light on my situation.
Everyone stay bless, keep your head up and this too shall pass.
Feeling stress out!!!!!
I would like to knw the same thing. My husband did the Self Certification Form on 9/16 and just wondering how long it takes for EDD to release funds to the debit card.
Suszie all I can tell you is the information that I have, which is the EDD sent me a conformation to my inbox informing me that they did receive my self certification form. I filled it out on the 15th and through my account and they sent me a conformation stating that they received it the same day. This morning the 17th I checked my personal email and I had an email from EDD stating that they received my self certification form. Now I’m really confused.
I wish you the best.
Any information on when South Carolina will be issuing the 300 bebefits
Following. We’ve literally had 0 updates on a date we could expect to see our extra $300 payment
I called SC yesterday they told me it would be posted on the website and I check it about 10 times a day. It is ridiculous. She also said not to believe what is said on line as I told her it showed pending and pay date was Sept 20 she would not confirm
The money is issued on my homepage in my portal, but no money in my account.I called a Dew representative and was told it’s being mailed.
Yes…sending out first batch by check.
I’m from NJ and I see it says Sept 20th as estimated payment start date. How did you come by that date? I can’t find anything on my unemployment page saying anything other than NJ was approved for LWA.
I live in Kentucky. When I first checked this page; Kentucky’s payment schedule showed the 13th of September and wasn’t paying out at that time. Now the official scheduled pay out date is: September 15th and the notation says: paying now. I’ve read that some in Kentucky have already received part of their payments starting on Monday September 14th. And from what I’m gathering; the ones who are receiving PUA unemployment are receiving their payments first and are also able to check their payment status to see the exact date that payments are going to hit their accounts. Seems that if you’re on regular unemployment the feature to see exact amount and deposit date is not available. I’m on regular unemployment benefits, due to covid. Every two weeks when I log on to claim my unemployment benefits; I answer a series of questions to determine my continued eligibility for unemployment. It is now Thursday September 17th and I haven’t received the first dollar of the extra $400 and I get direct deposit. So I can only speculate that I may receive some of it within the next few days or along with my benefit claim this Sunday September 20th. As for how Kentucky is going to pay out the retroactive benefit amount; they are paying it on a weekly basis and Not one lump sum like many other states. This website is not very informative when it comes to actually telling people how to self certify and when eligible people will receive their extra $400 unemployment benefits. I’ve read several comments concerning the self certification. Lots of people do not know what this means. I can only speculate that to self certify is the series of questions that you must answer every two weeks(for continued eligibility)when claiming your unemployment benefits. But there still remains the problem of an out dated website that should have been updated a long time ago so that claiming benefits, filing a claim or even getting on the website would not be a nervous breakdown experience as it is now. The phone system is just as bad since there is never anyone available to answer questions or give help where as the website does not. And most of this frustration could have been avoided had these state government website’s and phone system’s been kept up to date. So along with millions of others trying to harness their frustrations; I’ll continue to wait and pray that this money comes soon as we are facing extreme poverty.
I just read on ohio’s jfs cite that there still working on regular unemployment s system to distribute the 300$ payments. Along with saying they will post instructions for claimants when that’s done and that we will get one deposit for all weeks qualified for, unlike the distribution pua claimants have begun to receive.
Where can I find this information, I looked on the Ohio UI website and I didn’t see that info on there site. I also talked to an Ohio UI agent after being on hold for 1-1/2 hours. The gentleman i talked to said would receive the first payment within 1 to. 2 days, he even checked with his team leader to verify that info. I’m on regular unemployment and certify on Sundays and I have not received any info from the Ohio UI. Anyway that’s what I was told yesterday whether or not it happens remains to be told. I will update if I receive any new info.
I just spoke with them and they are sending out payments for people on the pandemic and are still working on the system for people on regular unemployment so it will be a while longer.
Thank you Chris for the update, i guess we wait then. What does Define care his bills are paid and family fed. Bet he’s not eating peanut butter and jelly just to get by. Ohio is a sad state.
I talked with them yesterday and she said she wasent sure when regular unemployment would get theres and now the tracker says the 28th I wish they wouldn’t let the employees tell people that it’s going to be a day or 2 when they dont know when it will be.
That’s ridiculous
John in Mississippi- just received the 6th LWA payment this week. Thank you MDES!
I havent seen any comments or post about TN does anyone have any info for them. I just got re-qualified because mine exhausted August 1st. I kept certifying even tho it wasnt approved yet. Then got approval the email and mail I got started I was Approved from August 2nd thru money run out basically. But then when I went to certify after it was approved my dashboard only had wks Aug 29th and Sept 5th so I didn’t get unemployment back pay from Aug 2nd on which obviously I was expecting since I went almost a month with no payment. Since then I’ve been paid my normal 130 for the wks Aug 29th to today 16th but no LWA payments at all. My unemployment was filed back in March and was checked as being because of covid. But I wasnt sent and email or any kind of notice to check or somehow tell again it’s still because of same thing…Until tonight after searching all over trying to find something out I found a tucked away spot where i could verify again bc of covid. But I thought I didn’t have to do this if I was recieving regular UI because of covid back to March. The tracker you have has payments in Tennessee being made as of Aug 30th. But of course can’t get ahold of anyone and on the other almost afraid to just to postpone for me calling or something. Main question I suppose is has anyone else in Tennessee received money if so how much or just any related TN problems. Thanks
Any news on SC please tell me it’s soon ☹️
Likely to happen towards the end of the month or early October. Per the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce (SCDEW) is working on implementing the Lost Wages Assistance program. It will take a few weeks to implement this new federal program in our system. As with all the federal programs they’ve implemented under the CARES Act, it takes time to configure and test the system to ensure accuracy and compliance with both FEMA and DOL standards.”
The department said they are continuing to provide updates about the LWA assistance through the MyBenefits portal, texts, emails, social media and their website.
From Connecticut here. I just received my payment of $300 at 1:09 am Thursday September 17th. It was just one payment. Any idea on why they are holding the other payments?
They do not have an actual approximate date as to when South Carolina people can expect to get their extra $300 unemployment benefit?
They haven’t updated nothing since Sept 1st. When our state got approved and That’s crazy. Hopefully we (SC) get the full $1800. I’m praying and waiting too.
Yes I hope it comes soon I only get 109$ a week and lost my health insurance when I lost my job and I’m Diabetic and had a Hearteart Attack 8-25-20 and medicine is so expensive and all my bills are past due it’s so stressful I’m praying for everyone to get their payments soon because I know how hard it is right now
Omg sorry to her the.. I’m at $122 a week.. SC need to do something
Omg sorry to her that
.. I’m at $122 a week.. SC need to do something
Hi, I’m on oregon and we’ve had no word on a possible date, at least not that I’m aware of. Has anyone else heard anything I’m drowning over here lol
The Oregon Employment Department has launched online self-certification for the Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) program and per their official website have said they will send LWA funds to qualified Oregonians by the end of September. The full link is in the table in the article in the Oregon entry.
Oregon says payment pending September 30th
Nobody in pa under the PUA program received weekly Payments this week or lwa payment yet. Not one person I know. Regular ue has received their benefit payment and the lwa payments already but some reason pua people in PA hasn’t received anything weekly benefit always comes Wednesday and didn’t even come today. They put update online stating….
Sept. 16, 2020 -PUA Payment Delay Notice:
If you normally receive a PUA payment on Tuesday or Wednesday, please be advised that we are experiencing payment delays due to exceptionally high volumes. You should receive your PUA payments within the next 2 days.
High volumes, how bout that lol. They’ve had high volumes and any other week never had issue getting well payment by now we do. Really??. So I guess guys if your in PA just look out should receive something within 2 days. Anywhere from ow till Friday I guess they r saying but don’t tell whether it’s just weekly or lwa included so not sure exactly what’s gonna be paid out but something at least will. Hope this helps
Anyone in ky know when we are supposed to get the other 400 retro payments?
I’m in Nevada and I know we were the last to apply. Has anyone in nevada seen the 300.00 yet? I know this site gave a date of September 26..but I was hoping to get it sooner.
Thank you
No. I see September 27, which is a Sunday (certification day) meaning you won’t see it until Tuesday September 29 at the earliest.
I just posted an update based on some new information. I had originally estimated the date based on FEMA guidelines. But DETR (Nevada state UI agency) estimates it will now take four to six weeks to complete system updates before the agency can begin issuing payments to eligible claimants. Given Sep 11 was the FEMA approval date, then assuming the mid-point of 5 weeks of approval I have revised estimated payment date to start after October 16th. Will continue to monitor and update if the date changes. It’s an estimate until official and people start seeing payments. Link to reference in table now. It is however very disappointing to see Nevada so far behind other states in making this payment.
Hello, everything I’ve read for Ohio has only applied to payments sent to individuals on pua not regular unemployment? Does anyone know when we are getting our payments?
People are suffering we as Americans deserve to know about our unemployment payments and when they are coming to feed our family I read a story about a family struggling while Congress took a break this is America ! We work pay our taxes and now we are begging our country for money’s for help ! They are the ones that covered up all this corona and we suffered losing our jobs family members to that. They in Congress are not hungry worried stressing they going home to a meal cozy bed and not worried about money to pay bills but they ignore the American people that got them their jobs I hope they see what this is doing to American people
I guarantee before it’s over the congress Republicans whoever is in high chains will get audited for lining there pockets with stacks of millions while us poor sit here and watch them play cat and mouse while actually there just stallinthimgs to make sure there pockets are paddedd the it will all come out in the wash mark my words this one of the most common faulty things that happens during this season of who’s gana hold what.tiecin office istil haven’t got my first stylus check more do I count on a second one cause it ain’t coming justy luck though.id roll. Over dead in my bedidlf I seen anything or even a letter but the goveretviscon too of it if I owe them count on them taking there money who cares I’m homeless and starcving out here as long a sthey take care of themselves that’s all thatatter.s.someone got to pay for their rolls royce a.amd yahts why not thepoor
Ohio pua recipient; 300 was deposited into my account today (16th), another 300 is scheduled to be deposited tomorrow (17th). As of now nothing is pending for Friday (18th) though I was told six separate deposits will take place over six consecutive days, maybe Friday’s deposit will post later today.
Thanks for the update and confirmation. In line with the tracker. But I do know lots of people in OH are still waiting
Hey Andy I’m from Ohio and draw regular weekly unemployment and I have not received or been notified of receiving any LWA. I called the UI office after being on hold for an hour and twenty minutes the agent said that it would be another 2-3 days before I would receive the first initial $300 payment for 8-1. Other than that they were not very helpful they couldn’t give me an actual date to receive my first LWA payment. I will update as soon as Im able to give more info. Thanks for all the help and info you have provided for all of us on your site because Ohio has been absolutely no help and releases no updates on to keep us up to date. I feel there dragging this out as long as possible so they can draw the interest off of our money. $717 billion probably draws pretty good intrest over a months period. There all thieves in my book.
I spoke with Ohio unemployment just now and they told me that they are paying out the pua claims but the people on regular unemployment still dont have a date for payment. She said they have received no updates and doesnt know why people are saying otherwise. Its ridiculous that nobody has any actual information. Just speculation.
Do you necessarily have to have dependents to receive the 300 extra in pua pa. ? Or is 100+ a week is fine?
Are you on unemployment?
I am in pa and am on the pua and still have not received the extra 300 for the five weeks My friend who is on regular unemployment got it yesterday does anyone know why or when it will go on because i thought it was suppose to be today
Do you necessarily have to have a dependent on it?
Sept. 16, 2020 -PUA Payment Delay Notice:
If you normally receive a PUA payment on Tuesday or Wednesday, please be advised that we are experiencing payment delays due to exceptionally high volumes. You should receive your PUA payments within the next 2 days.
I’m in PA as well and this was actually posted today on the ucpagov website nobody that’s on PUA received thier weekly pay or the lwa payment yet.
PA has not released any funds to any pia customers noticed on people on regular uc got thier payments along wit the lwa one
SO DID ANYBODY IN PENNSYLVANIA RECEIVED ANYTHING YET?
No, I haven’t yet. I also, didn’t even receive my normal weekly payment today now either. ♀️
Do you necessarily have to have a dependent on it?
I received 5 weeks today. Was processed Monday and received yesterday. I still haven’t received the 6th week but PA has always paid the Fed portion on a one week delay. Still doesn’t explain it but may be why I haven’t received the 6th week.
Do you necessarily have to have a dependent on it?
No not yet
I spoke with someone from ODJFS this morning! For anyone on regular unemployment – our payments are the way. She was very helpful and said that we should see payments by friday, or monday at the latest. Our claims page is set up differently the PUA and wont show the payment dates. Hope this helps!
Thank you for the update- very much appreciated!
I also talked to unemployment, she said they have not received anything yet on when payments will go out.
The lady I spoke with she she just had gotten a notice with the information shortly before I called!
Yes I spoke to a couple of people first one said no date yet second one said maybe by Friday
I spoke with someone from ODJFS as well and was informed that those getting regular unemployment not PUA should start getting payments early next week. The system is set of different for those getting regular unemployment! Hope this helps, just piggy backing from the first comment!
Ohio PUA started today 9/16. I got my first $300 today. The next one is poised to deposit tomorrow. Good luck Ohioans!
Wondering why I haven’t received mine yet here is MA.
I live in pa and received $900.00 LWA I am fully unemployed
Due to covid
Why did I only get 3 weeks and will I get the balance I presently
Get regular UC
Thank you for your time
That’s the first part of the grant approved (3 weeks). The other 3 are coming and may each be paid seperately based on FEMA funding to PA.

I live in Ohio. I received $300 this morning from PUA. My regular unemployment came through yesterday, so I was surprised by the additional deposit this morning. I did not receive the rest of the payments that I’m owed from August 1st to now. I’m not sure how ODJFS plans on distributing the remainder of the funds, but this is a start!
I only got 300 to no other payment so we should be seeing some more money you would think I’m just glad. Not the only one I thought they messed my payment oit
Im n ohio…and i got nothing ….am i surpose to self certify??? And how
I’m from Ohio today I only received 300 on my card no 900 is anyone els in ohio having this problem
Yes in Ohio the customer service representative said we would get $300 per day for 6 days. The weekend may stretch that out a bit. I’ve received $300 yesterday and today and see the $300 for tomorrow ready to deposit so anyone on PUA unemployment in Ohio should have started getting it. Regular unemployment in Ohio will a bit longer.
Any news on Delaware paying out any yet?
Of course not
A buddy of mine we both are on unemployment in delaware he got his first $300 today 9/18 but I still haven’t received any
I’m from ohio and I just received my 1st $300 dollar payment loaded onto my card and I’ve had the update like everyone else stating that the payment would be loaded on 9/16 dated for 8/1 and I also have another payment of $300 dated for 9/17 on the next week on my payment history.
I live in Jacksonville Florida and it says I’m eligible for unemployment and was verified last week. Was wandering if y’all knew when I will be getting the Monday I need to pay my bills. Thank you in advance.
Same here in Gainesville fl, NADA ZIP ZILCH ! I’ve already received my regular payment on the 14th hell they started paying out on the 8th so….i don’t know….I’m not even expecting it at this point
I get $239.00 A week so I don’t know what the hold up is…. shoot like I said not even expecting it at this point.. focusing on trying to find a job. This is for the birds.
Does anybody know why it’s going to take till October 31st to first start our LWA? I’m trying to raise my 3 boys on only $343 per week on regular unemployment and I must wait till the end of October before I get these benefits?? I think this is total ridiculous! We are hurting that’s all I have to say!!
Hello I’m in delaware I was wondering when I should get my first payment of the $300 the chart says 09/15 but yet I haven’t gotten it yet any answer would be appreciated
Hi Andy I live in New York I see the table chart you have made and I have not gotten my LWA deposit yet and nothing pending? Make 201 and was qualified. Do you have any updates for New York?
The lwa payment will be viable in your account on Friday the 18th of September
Does everyone in MS get their payments at the same time? Some got 3 retroactive payments while other received 5 payments.
No everyone will not receive their payment at the same time. It depends on you and will you file or compete the question. Every state is different on how they receive their payment.
I am from MD and we have received the FULL 1800. What I would like to know is, Do we receive the 300 dollars every week after that?
Nope. 6 weeks is the max FEMA has in budget. Back to regular or PUA unemployment after that
According to the website only a total of 6 retractive payments…so hopefully the government does something else.
Wait so what your saying is there is no 300 a week? Hmmm I’am wondering.Then why would they say its through December?
The program was authorized to run through December or until funds were depleted. The funds are gone.
Oh ok thank you very much sweetheart idk where you are in the world but iys night here so gn and thank you for your help.
I hope this helps someone. I’m in Missouri and my original unemployment claim wasn’t related to COVID. PEUC benefits kicked after my regular unemployment benefits ran out. I submitted a claim for it a few weeks prior to my regular benefits ran out and emailed them explaining the circumstances as well. The first few weeks when they started paying my husband the LWA, I didn’t receive it. I just received my approved weekly benefits. They sent me a correspondence and stated if I was still unemployed or partially unemployed now to due to COVID, to simply update my claim status by 9/8. It was located under claims and it was a simple one click certifying that my unemployment is due to COVID. I was able to due so because I was due to start a new job in April (originally laid off in March) and it’s been delayed twice. There’s a list of reasons they give on the unemployment website for how individuals are now affected that weren’t originally affected. I updated my claim status on 9/8 and received retroactive payments as followed: 9/9 $300, 9/10 600, 9/11 300 & /915 300. I hope this helps someone. If you missed your deadline to update your claim if your unemployment is now affected by COVID. File an appeal (faxing the appeal is better than making), include required identifying information and explain how your affected (review qualifying listed reasons under pandemic benefits). I would also send emails using the claimant form on the unemployment site, click other and type messages. I ALWAYS get things corrected this way or if they need to reach you they’ll call you. The phone lines have unsuccessful for me. I hope this information helps someone.
california ,same here i was on ui moved to peuc also certied for lwa yesterday because i was to start training right before pandemic closers and kelp calling but to no aval .. still listed as selected no change but have been on the look out for work . so i do and so do you …but when do they start paying us?
Please do anyone know why ODFJS site is showing up 403 forbidden error since Sunday, I’m getting more frustrated cause i couldn’t file my claim for this week yet
The website does that sometimes call your claim in and mect wekk it should be fixed.
I’m in Georgia I received 2 payments on Saturday 9/12 and nothing else yet .
Also check your UI portal mines showed a pinned message about LWA certification before funds can be released to you
How long after you completed your LWA certification did it take for you to get a payment??
I seen something say today the 15th was the last day to Certify for LWA for Ohio. Is there a link I can go to certify for LWA? If I was getting the $600 and now on EB do I even need to self certify?
Thanks
There’s still an option to update my claim status on mine (UPDATE COVID STATUS) underneath claims. The last day was supposedly 9/8 in Missouri. You can file an appeal if it won’t let you update it. Fax the appeal and include required information for appeal and send an email from the website using the claimant form.
Ohio is paying $300 a day for the back pay of LWA. I just checked and they are processing another $300 tonight and I will receive it Thursday. Just wanted to let my fellow Ohio residents know…. FINALLY GETTING SOME HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Do you see this on the regular unemployment website or pua?
Hey Tristan, I’m from Ohio as well and I can’t find where I self certify for LWA how will you be notified? I was getting $600 then had to be on extended benefits with over $100+ weekly. What should I do?
Thanks for helping, god bless
Michigan here wondering if they took taxes out of the $900 or just a lump payment of $900. Mine said issued but received 771.75
Taxes will be taken out if you have your regular payments set to take the taxes out. I’m in Michigan and I’m still waiting. I wonder if EUC recipients are receiving theirs in the first waive and those of us on “regular” unemployment will be later as is happening in Ohio.
